The U.S. housing market continues to remain a significant area of concern for the U.S. economy. To call the housing market a roller coaster ride is an understatement. While the current housing predicament has forced builders to explore all business opportunities for survival, opportunity for builders exist. The number of builders offering key technologies such as monitored security, central vacuum, MRAV, intercom systems and home automation has remained largely on par with previous years - a tribute to the entrenchment of built-in home technologies. This annual tracking study explores:
  • How builders view home technology in a down market.
  • Builders’ concerns over home technology and how to address them.
  • Future prospects for home technology adoption among builders.
This analysis is pertinent to anyone involved in the manufacturing, selling or installation of home technology including: home builders, technology manufacturers, technology installers, realtors, appraisers, home inspectors.
